TIS THE SEASON BY DARCY BURKE, ERICA RIDLEY, AND EMMA LOCKE

Tis the Season by Darcy Burke, Erica Ridley and Emma Locke is an Intrepid Reads publication. This book was released in October 2013. I received a copy of this book from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a Christmas themed anthology with three novellas. There is something here for everyone. The first story by Darcy Burke is a contemporary romance. "Where the Heart Is" is set in Oregon in December. Chloe has moved here to get away from her controlling mother and out of the social climbing rat race. She broke up with her workaholic fiancé and hopes to have a more peaceful lifestyle.Right away though she gets knocked for loop. Thankfully, a handsome man comes to her rescue.

Midwinter Magic by Erica Ridley is a fantasy novella.Jack Morgan was once on the Fortune 500 list. But, those days are long gone. Now he is more or less a wanderer. At the moment he is in Bolivia. Instead of limos and private jets he is handing out Christmas gifts to kids that are beyond poverty. But, Jack's world really tips over on it's axle when he comes face to face with his guardian angel- Sarah Phimm.

The Last story by Emma Locke is "The Cheer in Charming the Earl". This one is a historical romance. Elinor Conley is still in search of a husband. When she spies Grantham Wendell, The Earl of Chelford, she just knows he is the one. So, now she must somehow put herself in his path. Her scheme could ruin her reputation, cause her to lose the Earl, and maybe even her life.

All three of these stories are different from the usual Christmas anthologies. Three genres in one book, sweet and spicy, all with HEA and Christmas Cheer! Over all this one is a B+
